2024 TOYOTA TACOMA:
The automaker is leaning on
tech upgrades, an improved
ride and an optional new hybrid
powertrain to stave off encroaching rivals in the midsize-pickup segment.
The automaker will offer the 2024 Tacoma in six trims, all of
which come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of driver-assist
technologies. A multilink rear suspension replaces the previous
model's leaf springs on certain trims for a claimed smoother ride
and improved handling. The redesigned Tacoma is scheduled to go on
sale this year. Pricing hasn't been released.
2024 FORD RANGER: Arriving in late summer, the redesigned 2024
Ford Ranger offers an expanded engine range, a reengineered cab and
a performance Raptor variant. The midsize pickup is five centimetres
longer and wider than the current generation, which means it can fit
4x8 sheets of building materials between the wheel tubs in the bed.
The Ranger gets a wider cabin
and larger screens as part
of the update. The offroad-ready
Ranger
Raptor has a unique
suspension and exterior
design, and a
3.0-litre V-6 engine
expected to generate
405 horsepower
and 430 pound-feet
of torque. Canadian
pricing hasn't been
announced.
2025 VOLKSWAGEN ID BUZZ: A longer
wheelbase and a larger battery differentiate the
North American version of the Volkswagen ID
Buzz from the version on sale in Europe.
The vehicle is the automaker's modern
take on the original VW Microbus that
first appeared in the early 1950s, and is
designed to travel about 420 kilometres on
a full charge. For the Canadian market, a
five-passenger version is standard, with a
two-place third row available as an option.
The ID Buzz is set to go on sale in the second
half of 2024. Pricing hasn't been released.
2024 ASTON MARTIN DB12:
The automaker's latest grand touring coupe
arrives this fall with a Mercedes-Benz supplied
671-horsepower twin-turbocharged 4.0litre
V-8. The outgoing DB11 has a 630-horsepower
5.2-litre V-12. The DB12 gets an updated
suspension, stiffer chassis, new styling and an
interior that blends technology with luxury
refinements such as hand-stitched leather
seats. The new model will likely be the final
update to the DB line before Aston Martin
transitions to electric powertrains by 2030.
Pricing hasn't been announced.
2024 BMW 5 SERIES: The first fully electric
BMW 5 Series sedan will arrive in Canada in
October to take on rivals in the luxury EV segment.
The 2024 i5 M60 xDrive has an estimated
412 kilometres of range and 590 horsepower,
allowing the flagship sedan to accelerate
to 100 kilometres from rest in 3.8 seconds.
BMW will also bring the gasoline-powered
530i xDrive to Canada, and a plug-in hybrid
is scheduled to arrive in 2024. The i5 starts at
$95,000 and the 530i at $70,500, plus delivery fees.
